Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: Could not find a suitable TLS CA certificate bundle, invalid path

Question

I get this error:

Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: Could not find a suitable TLS CA certificate bundle, invalid path: /home/yosr

Answer 1

You need to allow pip to reference to the correct certificate. check the certificate first;

python -c "import certifi; print(certifi.where())"

Then first test it manually;

pip install -r requirements.txt --cert=

If that works fine, then update this path on pip.conf file located at $HOME/.pip/pip.conf (or %APPDATA%\pip\pip.ini on Windows). e.g.

[global]
cert = /usr/local/share/ca-certificate/mycert.crt
